The Lanvan Revolutionary Aerie made a deal with a daredevil: strap a winged rocket to your back and you're an officer. Knickers (well, Flight-Lieutenant Nicodemus Justinian Rose) hasn't yet managed to win the Sundered Marches their freedom, but he did accidentally rope his baby brother into the war.
While deep in occupied Miltahwark on a sabotage mission, a fiend with a thousand amethyst eyes massacres the unit. With the two brothers separated, survival, reunion, and success each seem unlikely. All three? Impossible.
Threading fate's needle will depend on the survivors joining arms with the legendary Buckaroo Banshee – a one-eyed, leathery old witch with half a century of trouble and lightning - and the Iron Gale, a convict conscript with more secrets than murder charges.
Countless eyes watch the heavens above Lanva; iron, grit, and a tailor's wit will have to do. Let Meteora meet Mettle.
The Sundered Marches are a place where…
…five-foot-nothing wonders ride rocket-powered wingpacks through the smoggy, sunset skies of a wild west at war.
…witches in ten-gallon hats wander an alchemy-poisoned prairie with a revolver in one hand and a sword in the other.
…sacred artifacts appear, ready for a brave wielder to howl their names and unleash their power.
…the dead walk the land thirteen nights a year, and all but the most foolhardy stay indoors.
…bureaucratic faeries oversee the smallest aspects of daily life.
…saloons and brothels shine bright in the night with magic lamps.
…the remnants of the pre-apocalyptic world linger just beneath the surface.
…revolution is in the air.
A reimagining of the author's prior work, Meteora × Mettle is a highly character-focused novel that follows a small irregular unit through the Meteora Mountains and the Ministry of Souls. This campaign will cover the costs to take the manuscript through a proper developmental edit, with stretch goals going towards improved art, layout, and even music.
Yes, music. Did I mention we have a soundtrack?
